The executive requested an affidavit to
that effect, and Mr.. Oliver replied:
1T will be presented later"
As Gov. Oglesby was about to step into
his private office, Mrs Black stopped him.
She was permitted to speak few sentences,
when the Governor interrupted her with:
Excuse me, madam, but / should like to
take care of this case myself"
A TELLING POINT.
telling point by the mercy seekers was
made in the afternoon. Almost at the very
outset William Urban, representing the
Central Labor Union of Chicago-over TO-.
900 workingmen-was at the moment ad-
dressing the Governor. The shooting of
Begley by Pinkerton men at the stock yards
was instanced by Mr.. Urban as a case
! where murder was committed by member
| of a well-known organization-the Pinker-
ton agency-in the employ of another we'll
known organization, the Packers Union,
and the controlling spirits OF
the organization were not held
responsible for the crime of the individual
member The plea seemingly interested the
| Governor strongly, and he called for repe-
tltion of the sentence concerning the Stock
Yards murder The Governor seemed if
possible, to grow more and more deeply
impressed as the moments sped;
and the bystanders did not fail
to mark the care with which
he ordered each petition carefully arranged
for his future reference, and his particular
| sollcltude in obtaining the name, address
and standing of each spokesman. Gradually
the friends of the condemned became more
and more hopeful The demeanor of the
| Governor plainly showed that most thor
ough investigation, with the broadest view,
and kindest of hearts. would be given the
arguments and petitions
THE AFTERNOON HEARING.
The friends of the Anarchists held meet
| ing at the Leland Hotel at noon to select
| the persons to address the Governor during
the afternoon. The pleading began at 2:l5
o'clock. Messrs Bailey and Campbell of
the Trades Assemblies, were the first
speakers. They were followed by William
Norville and Mr. Oliver OF Chicago, Mr.
Shellburg of Detroit, Mich, and Represen-
tative c. G. Dixon, of Chicago, Mr.. Burn
| Union of New York, j. E. Quinn,
Master Workman, and Frank Farrell,
representing Division 40 of the New York
Trades Assembly, also addressed the Gov
ernor. They were followed by George c.
Schilling, who presented petition from the
Iron Molders' Union Of Chicago, TO which
| two of the deceased ex-polcemen belonged,
| by short speech.
The Governor then received the relatives
of the condemned Anarchists, the audience
being excluded Up to a late hour this
| evening the Governor was still holding
private interview with the friends and rela-
! tives Of the Anarchists. He has given no
expression as to his intentions, and it is not
likely that any decision will be given to-
night.
1t was said this afternoon that Spies
brother would lay letter before the Coy
| ernor from Spies this evening
1t is claimed that Mr.. Grinnell said in his
speech that if Spies should be hung the law
would be satisfied. In his letter Spies asked
that the sentence of his comrades be COM
muted, and that he may die, thereby salts
| flying Mr.. Grinnelps demand.
sCHwAB's ADDITIONAL PLEA.
Among the petitions presented this after
| noon was the following
To His EcceILency Richard j. OgIeSby:
DEAR SIR-AS supplemental to the petition
heretofore signed by me desire to say that
realize that many utterances of mine in cOnnec-
| tion with the labor agitation of the past,
pressons made under intense excitement and
| dicious. These | regret, believing they
must have had tendency to excite
to violence oftentimes. l protest again
that had no thought or purpose of violence in
connection with the Haymarket meeting. |
did not attend and have always deplored the
result of that meeting. Respectfully.
MICHAEL SCHwAB.
Capt. Black left for Chicago at 8 O'Clock
tonight, leaving Mr.. Schilling in charge
No decision is expected from the Governor
tonight. Capt Black has doubtless gone
to Chicago to use all his power with Par
SONS to induce him to sign petition to the
Governor.
